Popped in to my local for a couple of pints of Gales GB yesterday and found that the pump had changed to simply 'Gales'. When I asked what the score was I was told that GB had been withdrawn by Gales and replaced with the imaginitively named 'Gales'. I tried a pint - it will be my last. Weak flavour, light colour and lower ABV all combined to make this a very forgettable pint. The barman said that the new beer was aimed at the pub chain market so expect to see it in all your favourite Happy Eater and Harvester 'pubs' soon. I live 3 miles from the Gales Brewery in Horndean and admire them for their traditional brewing methods and exceptional chain of pubs but I'm not drinking this stuff! If (and I've not had it confirmed by Gales yet) GB is no more I shall be switching my allegiances very promptly. If anyone out there in real ale land feels the same as I do please go to
